Wellmy uncle made this cool discharger outta 12 ga wire and light bulbs...all u do is get a whole bunch of light bulbs and sloder them to gether...then u wrap the 12 ga wire aroung it (strip a little part of the wire so it will be soldered to each light bulb) them atbthe ned of the wire put a connector of your choice or hard wire it... so when it dicharges the lights will light up, and then u will see the energy being used up, and gradually the lights will o down indicating how much energy is left in your pack! |16|02 |10|18 |16 |08C |11o r |03r |11u p |08t |02|10|18|02|16 --- RG 10-05/GEcho 1.11+ * Origin: LOTL * (412)746-3592 * V.34-D/S * RGSNet PA Host (1:129/230) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 131 RADIO CONTROL Ref: CB400002 Date: 07/02/95 From: MICHAEL KHANOLKAR Time: 05:49pm \/To: ALL (Read 9 times) Subj: KINDS OF CARS HYe u all.

I was leaning toward a Pro Tech AC/DC digital peak...I like it beacuse it is AC/DC and u can charge a pack on connectors and trickle charge at the same time... but I also was thinking of getting a Novak Digi pk plus. w/ cooling fan. But the only down fall to that is that if I get a DC i have to lug aroung a damn power supply... WELL? Whats it gonna be? I willlbe charging probably 6c 1400's(sanyo) 7c 1800's(panasonic) THANKS! |16|02 |10|18 |16 |08C |11o r |03r |11u p |08t |02|10|18|02|16 --- RG 10-05/GEcho 1.11+ * Origin: LOTL * (412)746-3592 * V.34-D/S * RGSNet PA Host (1:129/230)
